We wanted the fence to be free standing,
so we devised braces to use on the sides of the fence. We cut two triangles from scrap 1/2” plywood, and utilized scrap 2×4’s to hold the fence vertically. The triangle’s base measures 34” and its height measures 17”. The bottom 2×4 piece is 7” and the top on 5 3/4”. Click on over to my blog post to see exactly how we made the braces. The link is at the bottom of this post.
Here’s a side view of the display.
I’ve only used this for outdoor shows and for safety’s sake, tied the display to a tree to make sure the wind didn’t blow it over. If used indoors against a wall, the display wouldn’t need extra support.
